Tiger Cowrie shells are some of the most beautiful and recognizable seashells in the world. Their smooth, glossy surface is covered in rich brown and black markings that resemble the stripes and spots of a tiger, giving them their common name. The shell's polished appearance isn't from being tumbled or treated. It's naturally produced by the animal itself.

Found throughout the Indo-Pacific, Tiger Cowries spend much of their time hidden among reefs and rocky areas. At night, the living snail emerges to feed, extending a colorful mantle that actually helps keep the shell clean and shiny. It's no wonder these striking shells have been prized by collectors for centuries.
